Austin Flower Co. was founded in the summer of 1996. The three founders were and remain innovators in the floral industry. With a combined 60 years experience, in 1996 they dreamed of a way to bring the freshest flowers direct to the Austin flower buying public. Their dream was realized with the birth of A.F.C. a European style flower market with the finest cut flowers, fresh greens, as well as blooming and foliage plants. By buying our product direct from the farms, we are the floral wholesaler for many local flower shops as well as many independent wedding and special event artists. And we also sell retail to the public. This allows us to honor our philosophy of always striving to sell the highest quality product at a reasonable price. In the long run we become partners in the success of our customers' events and businesses.

If you're considering doing any of your wedding flowers yourself, as we did, I would definitely recommend Austin Flower Co. They absolutely saved the day!!! My husband and I were in a last-minute bind--our order for 100 roses from Sam's Club never arrived! So, a day and a half before the wedding, we drove down to Austin Flower Co (down on 35th Street). They had so many beautiful flowers—and their prices were so amazingly low! Much, MUCH cheaper than any online bulk florist! We bought several packs of Esperance roses and Finesse garden roses (the price was unheard of—less than $1.00/stem) and carnations and greenery. They knew how stressful our situation was and were just awesome at helping us. They walked us through their store, showed us tons of different options, and gave us thorough instructions for prepping them. They also gave us several packs of flower food and a pack of roses (25 stems) for free! Also, the flowers are packed very precisely (quite differently than when you buy a bouquet somewhere), and you don't have to rush home to immediately hydrate them. We were able to run a few more errands before getting them home, which is really convenient in the last-minute chaos leading up to a wedding. Our flowers were absolutely gorgeous. I wish I had gone to them in the first place and never bothered ordering online.

I highly recommend Austin Flower Co. if you are looking to do your own centerpieces. I ordered hydrangea & willow branches for centerpieces & a few anemone for cake decoration & they were beautiful. The flowers came in on a Wed. and they even let me keep them there until Friday morning since I did not have a place to store them. They were extremely helpful & informative & explained care & exactly what I needed to do. And I cannot say more about the value!! I saved so much money & you could not tell in the least bit that I did the centerpieces all myself!! I love this place!!

First thing to note is that Austin Flower Company is not a full-service florist. They are a flower wholesaler. This is NOT the place to go if you want a florist to create bouquets and centerpieces for you. However, if you want to do your flowers yourself, you can get seriously gorgeous flowers for very little cash.

For my wedding, I used flowers for just bouquets only. So, the day before the wedding, a bridesmaid and I headed to Austin Flower Company. We picked up 2 dozen red and 2 dozen white roses for $40. Yes, roses there are $20/2 dozen. We took them home, prepped them, and popped them in water with some flower food.

They were relatively closed up when we got them Friday afternoon, but by the time of the wedding Saturday night, they had opened up beautifully and were lush and gorgeous. My bridesmaid gathered and taped them into bouquets and we were good to go. My ridiculously beautiful bouquets made my heart sing with joy every time I saw them.

If you're willing to go the do-it-yourself route, you can save SERIOUS coin by using Austin Flower Company.

This is the best place to get flowers if you are planning to put them together yourself. They are so helpful and have 100's of fresh flowers on hand to choose from. You can order the flowers in advance or go pick them out a few days prior- this is what I did.

My aunt did the flowers for my wedding and Austin Flower Company was very helpful! I had an idea of what I wanted when I went to pick out the flowers, and Cory really walked me through things, helping me to clarify what I wanted exactly. He also offered suggestions to keep within my budget!

Very wonderful and knowledgeable staff.
